Hey guys thanks for all the info and advice. I have to admit , the sliding side ways thing would not be too good and as a matter of a fact it didnt even occur to me, but i can see it happening pretty easily. But for now i at least have a better understanding of the aux. hydro lines. THANK YOU

does that mean electric switches on the machine to control individual wet lines or does that mean that the wires travle down the boom and to the blade and that is where the selinoids would control flow, ex. angle left or right? I have a 1999 lx 885 with one pair of lines. pretty sure that when i...
